| With nearly 600,000 residents, Yaroslavl is, by population, the largest town on the Volga until it reaches Nizhny Novgorod. | WIKI |
| The town benefited very much from its geographical location over the years and the wealth which business produced for the town helped ensure its prosperous future. | WIKI |
| As a result of the prosperity enjoyed by the city, Yaroslavl saw a huge expansion in the size of its population over the course of the 17th century, and by the end of this century, the town had a population of around 15,000 people,[27] making it the second largest city of the Russian Tsardom after Moscow. | WIKI |
| This period was also particularly important for the urban development of the city, because during the 17th century a multitude of stone-walled churches were built in the city; today these churches still form a major part of the old town's city center. | WIKI |
| At the beginning of the 18th century Yaroslavl finally began to transform itself from a trading post into a major industrial town; this largely came about because with the foundation by Peter the Great of Saint Petersburg in 1703, the importance of Arkhangelsk as a port on the Northern Ocean was drastically decreased, and the amount of trade being channeled through the city for export fell accordingly. | WIKI |
| Right up until the beginning of the First World War Yaroslavl remained a large industrial town with a well-developed municipal infrastructure. | WIKI |
| Old town[edit] | WIKI |
| The old town is effectively triangular in shape; this triangle is formed by the natural border provided to the south and east by the Kotorosl and Volga rivers, and on the land side by the geometric pattern of the street plan, which dates from the 18th and 19th centuries. | WIKI |
| Until the 17th century this area was occupied by the wooden Yaroslavl Kremlin and is thus referred to nowadays as 'Wooden Town' (xd0xa0xd1x83xd0xb1xd0xbbxd0xb5xd0xbdxd1x8bxd0xb9 xd0xb3xd0xbexd1x80xd0xbexd0xb4). | WIKI |
| Yaroslavl has three theaters, the most famous of which is the 'Volkov Theater',[46] an institution which since 1911 has been housed in a large neoclassical building in the city's old town. | WIKI |
| Even though Volkov's original theater troop only performed in Yaroslavl for a few months before then moving to Saint Petersburg (there was no regular theater company in Yaroslavl again until the beginning of the 19th century), the town is still recognised as the spiritual home of the Russian theater and dramatics. | WIKI |
| After several fires, and starting from the 16th century, the original wooden town was gradually rebuilt in stone. | UNESCO |
| The Historical Centre of the City of Yaroslavl became a recognised model in the art of town planning during the Neoclassical Age, which has organically incorporated ancient elements of the cityxe2x80x99s historical structure. | UNESCO |
| It is noted that, differing from many other renovation projects in the Soviet period, the banks and islands of the Kotorosl River have been preserved, retaining the historic town with its rare natural framework. | UNESCO |
| Parts of the masonry fortifications have also been preserved in the northern and north-eastern section of the town, as well as the towers of the Virgin and Uglic, and the Volga Gates. | UNESCO |
